Where is it and how much does it cost?
There are 3 in Ohio, Madison, Ashtabula, and I believe Chagrin Falls. There is a suite cost plus cost for care. The cost for care depends on how much care is required. We are mid-range in the care cost. Our total cost is less than most nursing homes in the area. The down side is you provide all your own furnishings and consumables. i.e. your own furniture, sheets, towels, toilet paper, soaps, shampoos, etc.
Do residents ever get to go outside?
My mom is in one of their facilities. Yes, they are taken outside when the weather is nice. They also go on adventures – out to lunch or short shopping trips.
Select individuals get to go outside for very short periods of time. Alot don't. See any windows? it's all artificial lite.
